Welcome back!
I hope that all our families enjoyed the half term break last week! It is great to see all our children and young people back in the usual routine this week!

World Book Day
Parents will be receiving information and activities which are being planned for next Thursday 6 March, which is World Book Day.

Parent Governor
Welcome to Mr Neil Murphy who has joined the Governing Body at Redwood and attended his first full governors meeting on Monday. Neil will bring so much to the governors as a carer for one of our 6th form students currently working on the Internship Programme. I look forward to working alongside Mr Murphy.

CP Multi Sports Day
Redwood is hosting a unique sporting event on Friday when youngsters from across the school who have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy will be taking part in sporting activities specifically designed to meet their individual requirements. A great day ahead for those youngsters!
